Photographer Carl Richards captured these images of A35-003 taking off on its first flight, from Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth, on December 1. The aircraft is due to be delivered to Luke Air Force Base, Arizona in early 2018 to be used for pilot and maintainer training, before being permanently relocated to Australia in 2020. A35-003, known to its manufacturer Lockheed Martin as AU-3, had its RAAF markings, including its 3 Squadron tail flashes, applied in early November, the final phase of the aircraft’s production process. 3 Squadron is due to become the first RAAF F-35 operational unit.

Memanfaatkan Jam Makan Siang Untuk Menulis Artikel

Semakin banyak konten dalam blog semakin bagus. Itu prinsip yang dipakai Mbak Indri Lidiawati si empunya Juragan Cipir. Selain pengalaman, juga hasil sering berkunjung ke banyak blog terkenal dan sukses, menunjukkan bukti hal tersebut.

Jadi, saya mengadopsinya menjadi prinsip saya juga.

Masalah utamanya adalah saya masih bekerja di sebuah kantor perusahaan asing, sebuah trading textile. Mau tidak mau, sebagian besar waktu masih harus dihabiskan menunaikan tugas kantor yang diberikan. Semoga nanti kalau Adsense sudah bisa jadi mesin penghasil uang, saya bisa meninggalkan pekerjaan rutin yang membosankan ini.

Hasilnya, keinginan besar, tetapi waktu terbatas. Saya harus pandai-pandai mengatur waktu agar produksi artikel tidak terhambat karenanya. Setiap ada waktu luang, saya akan pergunakan untuk melakukan kegiatan yang berkaitan dengan blogging. Mulai dari mencari ide, membuat draft hingga bahkan menerbitkan artikel.

Salah satu waktu yang saya pakai untuk menulis artikel adalah di saat jam makan siang. Lumayan ada satu jam.

Biasanya saya membagi dalam dua sesi :

  1. 30-40 menit untuk makan siang, sholat, dan istirahat 
  2. 20-30 menit untuk menulis 
Tidak banyak memang waktunya. Tetapi, karena saya mulai terbiasa menulis cepat, 20-30 menit itu bisa menghasilkan sebuah artikel ringan atau sekedar celotehan saja. Yang penting, harus ada hasil dari waktu tersebut.

Memang, akibatnya, saya tidak punya waktu istirahat. Itulah juga alasan saya lebih suka membawa bekal makan siang dari rumah, lebih hemat uang dan juga lebih hemat waktu karena tidak perlu berjalan membeli ke warung.

Tetapi, bukanlah sebuah masalah. Rasanya tetap harus ada yang dikorbankan demi kemajuan. Jika saya tidak mau mengorbankan waktu makan siang, akibatnya, blog akan lebih lamban terisi artikel baru. Ujungnya, target akan lebih lama tercapai.

NO PAIN NO GAIN. TIDAK ADA HASIL TANPA PENGORBANAN.

Dan, saya memilih mengorbankan sebagian waktu istirahat makan siang demi artikel supaya blog-blognya terisi dengan lebih banyak konten.

HMNZS ENDEAVOUR - Final Harbour Entry with Pennant Flying

05 Desember 2017 HMNZS Endeavour (photo : RNZN) The Royal New Zealand Navy’s 30 year old tanker support ship, HMNZS Endeavour is about to be retired and enters the Waitemata Harbour for her final time on Friday 1 December. She will be flying her decommissioning or paying off pennant - the longest pennant in the Navy. Endeavour is expected to berth at Devonport Naval Base at 10am and will be visible from East Coast Bays and North Head for up to an hour as she enters the Rangitoto Channel, approaches the inner harbour and progresses to her berth. For her final ceremonial harbour entry, naval tradition allows the Commanding Officer of Endeavour, Commander Martin Doolan, to fly the decommissioning pennant from the ship. The custom is inherited and adapted from the Royal Navy since before the Napoleonic Wars when it was tradition for ships to fly a ‘Paying-off Pennant’ at the masthead when they left their fleet to return to their home port to ‘Pay Off’. The length of the pennant was equal t...
